Chapter 40
And those maids who gave false testimony-you never followed up on that. You just continued to turn a blind eye p>
Mira paused, then continued. “It’s one thing for you to play blind, but you became her accomplices. Am I supposed to just endure that too p>
At that moment, Ethan finally began to wonder if he and his family were really that bad.
He had to admit, their favoritism had become deeply ingrained, something they took for granted.
“No matter what, we’re all family. There’s no problem that can’t be solved. Stop going against Mom and Dad. You need to understand they mean well.
I’ll try to talk some sense into them p>
“They mean well?
Let me ask you, if both Mara and I were in mortal danger, and you could only save one of us, who would you save p>
“That situation would never happen p>
“Answer me.
What, you can’t answer?
Let me answer for you. You would definitely save Mara p>
“You should go. Since you can’t be fair and impartial, don’t come here and preach to me p>
You haven’t walked in my shoes, so don’t lecture me about forgiveness. Mira no longer held any hope for this family.
“You must be out of money, right? I heard you’ve been working recently.
There’s a hundred thousand in this card. Use it for now. I’ll convince Mom and Dad to reinstate your allowance later p>
“I don’t need it p>
Mira pushed his hand away.
“I can earn my own living p>
Ethan frowned and reluctantly withdrew his hand.
This sister of his was too headstrong. His parents were stubbornly biased towards Mara, which put him in a very difficult position.
His other three brothers had also more or less sided with Mara.
Could it be that Mara really was two-faced, sinister, and vicious?
He was still reluctant to believe it, but he knew he would have to pay closer attention from now on.
Lost in thought, Ethan walked away. He had waited until everyone else was asleep before coming to find Mira; otherwise, with his parent’s still fuming, it would have only fueled their anger.
“Ethan p>
Ethan’s bedroom was on the third floor. He had just reached the top of the stairs
when he heard someone call his name.
“Mara, why aren’t you asleep? What are you doing standing here so late p>
“I saw you go to sister’s room and was worried, so I waited here.
Is sister okay p>
“She’s fine. It’s late, you should go to bed p>
No wonder the whole family doted on Mara. She was so well-behaved and sensible.
“Then I’ll go to sleep. You should get some rest too, Ethan p>
Over the next few days, the major fluctuations in Bitcoin gradually subsided. In three days, Mira earned less than twenty million dollars.
While it wasn’t a small amount, it was a far cry from the returns of the first three days, especially since she had been investing over ten million as her principal.
Mira knew that this wave of short-term volatility was coming to an end.
On the fourth day, Mira opened the charts but could no longer find any opportunities for day trading.
Fortunately, her recent operations had already netted her thirty-four million dollars. It was her first major nest egg.
It solved her immediate survival problem, ensuring she wouldn’t have to live in a sorry state.
But it was far from enough to start a business, like the bike-sharing idea.
Once a project like that started, it required a massive injection of capital to quickly dominate the market and maximize profits.
Otherwise, the moment there was any activity, larger investors would smell an opportunity and swoop in to seize the market.
There was also the risk of being devoured by the Mercer family and the people backing Mara.
She still needed to find other opportunities to make money.
As for Bitcoin, although it would rise in the future, it was set to fall in the near term and couldn’t be ignored. The same went for gold, which was also suitable for short-term investments.
Mira thought for a moment and decided that the most reliable bet was still MVX-23.
